eBook: NoNonsense Legalizing Drugs by Steve Rolles
We urgently need to legalize and regulate drugs – this book explains why, and how to do it.
'Of all mankind’s self-inflicted wounds, ‘the war on drugs’ must be one of the most catastrophic . This passionate, articulate, and numerate statement of the case for legalising drugs could not be bettered. I hope it has the wide readership, and receives the careful attention, it deserves. It should be placed in the hands of all those who are in a position to make or influence policy and to reverse the present disastrous approach to what should be an entirely manageable human problem' Raymond Tallis, Retired Physician and Neuroscientist, Author, and Philosopher.

The 'war on drugs' is a complete failure that is destroying lives all over the world.
It is time to take control. Legalizing drugs does not mean a free-for-all. It involves ensuring that substances are safe and taking distribution out of the hands of the criminal networks who currently benefit from an illegal market with a turnover of $320 billion a year.
This book is not just a litany of the damage done over the past four decades of drug war - it assesses the careful, progressive attempts at reform by some governments and, more important still, it looks forward to examine exactly how legalized drugs will be produced, distributed and regulated in future. The change is going to come - but this book will put you well ahead of the curve. Reviews: 'I commend this book to you, and encourage all who read it to join the movement for change and help to end the ruinous war on drugs.' - Cesar Gaviria, former president of Colombia, and member of the Global Commission on Drugs 'This book brings a welcome dose of pragmatic realism to a debate long dominated by misplaced idealogy and knee-jerk politics.' - David Nutt, Edmond J Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London Paperback: 144 pages Publisher: New Internationalist (May 2017) Language: English ISBN: ESBN: Dimensions: 18cm x 11cm
